[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RPM must kill all childs on exit (from section?) (#134)

[Panu Matilainen]

Well I'm not seriously suggesting dragging in systemd for a rare corner case issue. OTOH we're not going to catch *all* children launched from a shell we invoked without something more advanced and non-portable - all of those are likely to look like serious overkill anyway. 

We could of course do something like this:

```
-%___build_post         exit $?
+%___build_post \
+  RPM_EC=$?\
+  for pid in $(jobs -p); do kill ${pid}; done\
+  exit ${RPM_EC}\
+%{nil}
```

...which won't catch a process that forked into background by itself, but it'd catch anything invoked with &. Which would be better than nothing I guess.
